My mom and I discovered that none of the knitting stores were open today so we had to come up with another plan.
My mom had told me a while ago about Westwood Lake in Nanaimo. We found it by feel and there was a very easy parking lot.
We set off to the left and made our way around the lake. It’s a gorgeous trail that only has three hills! 
I am hoping to run around here one day. There were lots of people out, but I would definitely go out towards the right from the parking lot as it can be a little tricky to find the path coming around that way. This would be a great walk for anyone!
We had a lovely dinner out and I’m experiencing my parents continuous company right now.
By the way I started the day by breaking the toilet and ended the day by breaking the car door so I may be asked to vacate the premises quite soon.
Have fun!
AJ
Lol, glad I’m not the only one with a tendency to break stuff!
Ugh I’m the worst house guest ever!
Oh no! Hopefully all easily fixed? But anyway, you had a great walk, so that’s something!
Yes we’ve been wanting to do that walk for a while so it was good to get time to do it!
That’s one of those days , Aj, everything breaks.
What a gorgeous green, looks absolutely beautiful and refreshing ☘️🏃🏻♀️
It smelled so good in there!
Aj, I LOVE that you love being with your parents. How many children are in your family?
I have two older brothers
I’m glad you and your mom were able to figure out a plan even though knitting stores were closed. I love fun and easy walks!
Yes I’m glad I remembered that walk. Realized another thing we could have done at the end of the day, but the walk was enough
Now you have something to do next time!
Oh yes, this other drive has been on the list for a while
Such a pretty photo!!
Thanks:)
What a beautiful place to walk or run. I’m sure you won’t be asked to leave, even if you do break a few things! 🙂
I really want to run that lake!
I’m sure I won’t be, but it sure is annoying
It’s hard to be the breakee, but your parents love you. I always enjoy your writing about visiting with your folks. How I wish I could meet all of you!
They do- my mom has promised I won’t have to walk the plank:). I always have that thought about you and John and your grandsons
There is no substitute for a loving family.
None!
ugh! I’m sure your parents won’t kick you out, but they might bubble wrap the house before you arrive next time. sorry that you couldn’t go yarn shopping but the walk burns calories and is free
Lol bubble wrap may help. I am trying my best not to touch anything else.
The walk was a gorgeous break and I get to go yarn shopping today so life is good
Hope you got some lovely yarn today and don’t feel so sheepish about the broken things 😁 The path looks gorgeous.
No yarn yet, but I have another store to try. Awesome food instead!
That looks like a beautiful place to walk!
It was a beautiful walk.
Looks like a lovely place to hike/run–or hide, if you happen to break anything else:)
Lol I might have to pitch a tent there soon! I’m trying to just not touch anything else
It looks beautiful there. Enjoy your time!
Thank you!
A gorgeous walk, but too bad about the toilet😳 and the car door!
Lol yup I’m not allowed to touch anything else!
You’ve been hanging out with me too much with all the broken items! Story of my life for June/July.
Yup everything I touched:(
